I keep meaning to post this and always run out of time after browsing, but your creations are all impressive, Hoppin! A couple of them that you've posted in the Exchange have been really entertaining to play around with and they all look unique too.

As someone who hit kind of a rut in the game where I felt I wasn't meeting my own standards of building but still enjoyed playing to a degree, I really appreciate that there are still people uploading to the exchange and posting in their showcases to keep the game fresh and fun for lurkers like myself! :)

Gammaraze is gorgeous! And adding that srimech to Scoot is not only smart, but looks great too. Always a fan of your stuff! :)

*snipped*

yo these are sweet lookin bots

can you snap the insides of the spinner so i can see what kind of camber set up/motors you got?


Oh dang, I wish I'd seen this sooner! I scrapped Exodus (working name) for the time being and started a rebuild of it, mainly because I couldn't get the weapon setup to work well enough and still have enough weight leftover to build support around the armor and balance it. Iirc, it only had Astroflights for drive at I wanna say the wonky 22.5 degree angle because they're the only ones that would fit properly, and the weapon had a Mer-Motor.



My pet project right now is playing around with CF Extender-botting for the first time and refining my first draft of this ridiculously garish hammer design:


(A little bit of inspiration from poor ol' Mega Melvin on that weapon design, though I've had the image in my head of a hammer structure like that for a little while leading up to this)

1. Major problem is that the wedge corners have that gap between them and the rest of the extenders. Also, the support for the weapon could be fleshed out a little more. I have to look for some places to shave off weight to make it up in those areas.

2. The weapon itself is pretty modular. I played around with a version made entirely of Beaters and a version that had Spikes instead of the Frenzy Hammer (which I think I personally prefer). Only showing the FH in the picture because it's the last version I tested before I snapped the shot.

3. All in all, I'm pretty excited that I'm actually building something with CF that I don't want to scrap in the first 5 minutes for a change. My armor work is super sloppy so far, but hopefully I'll get the hang of that eventually.

I like the angled spinner, can you shave off some weight somewhere to get large typhoon teeth? And does the bar intersect the wheels?

Thank you! Fortunately, the bar just clears the wheels, added the small DSL disc not only for aesthetics but also to give it that space.

There's definitely weight left to use. May have to extend the weapon height a little more to keep Large Typhoons from clipping the ground, but it's possible. :)

It's been a hot minute or two since I've had the chance to delve into my weird & impractical 'bot building mind. I'll post a couple of works-in-progress.

On the left: I had a strange impulse to create an axe-build with a 2-wheeled chassis, I guess akin to Toe Crusher, in a way?

Got it all built and realized I set the axe up backwards. :facepalm: Off to a great start. Gonna have to either rebuild the weapon or change the armor around. Not sure if either approach will work, but we'll see.

Also, on the right: A MW angled spinner that I'm currently tweaking. Have to stop it from tilting forward and clipping the ground when turning. The beater wedges helped a little, but there has to be more I can do. Bar isn't necessarily the final product either, just what I'm working with for now.


Any tips or recommendations would be most welcome :)

Just wanted to mention that Tilt has sent me into an existential crisis because it epitomizes everything creative and wonderful that I'd ever want to see come out of this game and I know I could never build something of it's calibur. It's just got such character and is entirely functional at the same time. I'm a huge fan and hope it does decently.

Well I'm thoroughly enjoying it :) So proud that Witching Hour didn't spontaneously combust. <3 Seeing Billet tear Zlammer's wheel and motor right off was pretty metal tho. Same for Gadreel's swaggy exit.

Also, that AFI song is a blast from the past. Good to be reminded of my college days. Radder times indeed.

Awww yeahhh I've been trying to make something like that for a while now, except with the discs & chassis at an additional angle left/right.

schoolbus HS with ruler weapom when?

I was thinking more like a 3-ring binder chassis with spikes reskinned to look like pencils sticking out of the front while the ruler spins overhead.

I'm just getting out of my time in the hospital, so I'm actually glad I'm not as far behind as I thought I'd be on watching these!

Important update:
Due to Brexit Craaig can no longer afford internet at his house, which has led him down the road to having to use the free wifi at various places to get in contact. I believe he plans to upload using the free wifi at McDonalds, but I believe we should all pool together and get him and internet connection.

But don't they have All-Day Brexit at McDonald's now?  :baffled:

I, for one, am happy to wait for perfection. Plus, I'm sick anyways so what else is there to do? :p
